American neurobiologist
Judith Ann Potashkin is an American professor atRosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science . She is best known for her research on diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. She is an elected fellow of theAmerican Association for the Advancement of Science .
Education and career [ edit ] Potashkin has an undergraduate degree fromLehigh University (1977), and an M.S. in fromPennsylvania State University where she worked on the connection between ribosomal RNA synthesis and viruses.[ 1] State University of New York at Buffalo working on residualnuclei in yeast.[ 2] Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory . She moved toChicago Medical School in 1990 where she is a tenured professor.[ 3]
Potashkin is known for her research on the role of RNA in neurodegenerative diseases. Her early research examined residual nuclei inSaccharomyces cerevisiae [ 4] RNA splicing [ 5] [ 6] [ 7] [ 8] [ 9] [ 10] [ 11] [ 12]
